Taxation and tho SurpluH,,

Soms Of our political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
ly those on the Democratic side Of the
fenca-Aave been sorely distressed about
the weight OF National taxation mud the
staggering surplus in the Treasury. The
so.callsl surplus ia used as a standing dr.
gument in favor of a reduction of war
taxes" AS a fact. tho war taxes remain
ing are Internal Revenue taxes, but these
are not what the revenue reformers
mean when they speak OF war taxes.
Their axes are sharpsned for the customs
duties.
With such s navy as We have-repre-
senttd by the minus sign-and with no
coast defences that would for 8 moment
stay the destroying hand OF any power
that might como against US, is it not q
stretch Of imagination to say that we have
any surplus at all? If a surplus means
something for which there is no present
use, then We are not encountered with any
thing OF that sort. On the superstition
that we ought to have a navy and that our
coasts ought not to be recklessly exposed,
We have no surplus to wrangle over.
Probably the trouble with Canada will
not lead to war; it certainly would not il
We we're known to be prepared for war.
However tho present trouble may termi-
nate, only a Nation Of lunstics would DO
content to remain as defenceless as we are,
Whether the present cloud shall pass
away or not, we need a navy and we need
coast defences, and VIC cannot too soon
take measures to provide them.
A Nations diplomacy rests on a weak
foundation when it is known to be un.
supported by a strong arm ready to strike
upon sufficient provocation. Our general
policy is peaceful in the highest degree,
but that does not make it safe Tor ua 10
neglect those precautions which every
other country takes to preserve It's peace
without the sacrifice Of ita dignity and it's
interests.
Does anybody doubt tho answer OF
the American people il they were asked
to cay whether ttoy desire q navy built
and their coasts defended? They..know
that they would get the money and that
the Government would have something to
show for it. They know also that the
armed deienaes Of the United States
would no longer be the jest Of the great
powers.

SOUND ARGUMENT.

a special TO the Minneapolis 1ri-
6umc gives the arguments advanced
at the st. Cloud mass meeting for
violating good faith and repudiating
promises, in opposing the county
division and court bills. Tie argu-
ments are as profound as the mo.
tlVes are disinterested. They would
be unworthy Il lot of school children
Sunday school children. The re-
port leads off with false statement.
in that it Says the division bill names
Sank Centre as the county seat Of the
proposed new county. The bill ex-
plicitly states that the voters are to
select county seat. This effort to
mislead will not work. t is western
Stearns which would be- benefited.
and not Sank Centre specially. Our
people would support the measure
just as strenuously f Melrose, Spring
Hill, or any other place within tie
territory were named for the county
seat. The flimsy srguemnts adj
vanced. as quoted from the arti lie
are:
First, the matter had already been
voted on twice; second, Il large ma
jority of the people were opposed TO
the proposed division; and third, the
matter would only make work and
expense FIR nothing.
The reason given for not having a
special term OF court at Sank Centre
was the additional expense to the
county and confusion that would re-
suit from the transportation OF the
jury, records and court officers to and
from Sank Centre, and if one town
was given a term of Court all other
towns in the county would think
they were entitled to one.
The allegations are false in every
particular and the deductions worse
than puerile.

also to aid the farmers in securing egislation

the aid to farmers Is of secondary considera-

The Treasury department is agitated
over the cunning withdrawal of Secre-
tary Manning and Treasurer Jordan
from that department. The employ
ees are always apprehensive of a
clean sweep in the Offices when a
new chief is placed over them. Con-
siderable surprise is expressed that
Secretary Manning should give up
his high Cabinet position even for
the presidency of $3,0OO.000 bank.
The salary in the bank is more it is
true, and there is more permanency
to it, and perhaps much less
work connected with it, but still
there is not the influence and power
that is welded by the Secretary of
the Treasury. The secretary, how
ever, is tired of the heavy cares of
the Office and the little petty annoy.

officers are put by politicians and

Softly the daylight faded far in the distant
blSe,
Blending its fading glory sweet with the
twilight's hue;
Far in the distant portals opened a golden
door,
Sweetly the Angels music came from the far
of shore;
Gently voice came floating over the lar off
seq,
Borne on the wings of Heaven, calling her
home TO Thee.
Far over the dark blue mountains faded the
golden beams,
Lowly the breezes of evening chanted their
mournful strains;
Fair shone the light eternal sweet was the
golden air,
Painted her weary spirit something OF light
to share.
Up thro' the shining ether borne on the
wings of love,
Floated her happy spirit, HON to the realms
above.
Within the Heavenly portals olhed in her
robes of white,
Breathing the love eternal, she sings her
songs tonight.
Sad was the hour of parting, bitter the tears
we shed,
Laying the form of our darling down with
the shrouded dead;
But low like strain OF music from over the
Jasper sea,
Christ. thou hast called our Anna home to
her rest and Thee.

asks is TO have the privilege of voting, and

not be divided. The Times is more generous

not made by any person having authority to

NOW FOR THE CAPITOL.

There is unquestlonably a feeling
of uneasiness if not dissatisfaction
relative to the location of the State
Capitol at st. Paul, and already sew
eral towns have put in proposals for
its removal. A commission Is liable
to be appointed TO seriously consider
the matter Of locating new capitol,
which commission Shal make a care
full and thorough examination of the
advantages of several localities, and
report to the next legislature. And
now comes Sank Centre to the front,
and makes an offer which is worthy
of serious consideration. Hon. Alex
ander Moore tenders Il choice section
of land, beautifully located and valu.
a ble-the site proposed for the in
sane asylum-and S150,OO0 in cash.
The offer is most liberal one, and is
made IN the utmost good faith,
backed by men of influence and un-
limited capital.
This proportion may at first strike
the average reader as trifle pre-
sumptuous on the part of Sank Cen
tire, but Il closer examination will con-
vince him that this village has many
points of advantage as tho site for
the State Capitol of Minnesota. 1t is
very near the geographical center of
the state both north and south and
east and west. In this respect It's
location is unequalled. The center
of population lies a little south of
us at present, but it is rapidly work
ing its way northward, and inside of
ten years it will reach us. The north
ern portion of the state is becoming
settled rapidly, much more so than
southern Minnesota.
Our railroad communication, pres.
ent and prospective, IS such that
every part of the state can be reached
speedily and conveniently. With the
two roads already built, and two
more to he constructed in the early
spring, every part of the state VIII
he easily accessible. The site sug
gested is all that could De desired,
pleasantly located on beautiful
sheet of water, with abundant tim.
Der at its very doors, and command.
ing prospect scarcely equaled in

If the report of the commission to
locate the third Insane Hospital
means anything, it is that Sank Cen.
tire combines more desirable features
for the State house than any place in
central Minnesota. The propostl on
and tender have taken definite shape
and been formally offered to the leg.
